Heated Gears And Battery

Bobber in Seattle · Dec 16, 2018

hi all,
i have 2018 Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black and i'm thinking about purchasing some heated gears (jacket, pants, gloves). How do I find out if my bike battery is good enough for the gears' power consumption? if it's not then what should i do to upgrade?
Power consumption:
Heated jacket: 74 Watts (6.2 Amps)
Heated patns: 38 Watts
Heated gloves: 22 Watts (2 Amps)

With two fused (10A) links off the battery then i dont see an issue with what your suggesting. Normally the battery will need very little top up so there should be plenty of reserve in the modern charging system.

With you disconnecting when getting off (cafe for example) then there isn't a permanent drain so no restart issue.
